Fascinating! Through sheer chance I noticed that this comment was at 5 points before lunch, then on returning it was at 4 points (about 13:30 Zulu) Clearly someone thought 5 points was too many and down-voted it.
I must admit I'm intrigued. Is it the term" dog-fooding" to which they objected? Is it the explanation of why I think this will get very tedious? Is it the links to explain the term "dog-fooding" which, I would've thought, some people here wouldn't recognise (although most certainly would.)
I try to ensure that my comments and thoughts are generally useful (well, perhaps except for this one. I pray indulgence) and hence add to the value of HN, but clearly someone thought one wasn't. Oh how I wish it were possible to see into the mind of the down-voter.
<sighs, shrugs, wanders off, wondering.>
- Tichy 16y agoCan`t explain the downvote, but the links are superfluous.
- rjett 16y agoI've noticed this before when I've posted a comment that is otherwise receiving upvotes. I just chalk it up to "fat fingers" accidentally clicking the down arrow. It happens.
- jrp 16y agoI've accidentally downvoted on an iThing before. It doesn't seem worth it to write a comment explaining.
